"There's only one team in Manchester," says Beckham.
LA Galaxy player sparks controversy with Manchester City.
247 – Even while playing for the Los Angeles Galaxy in the United States, midfielder David Beckham makes a point of not hiding his love for Manchester United, the club where he started his career. The player wore the "Red Devils" jersey from 1993 to 2003.
When asked about the progress of their great rival and whether there was any possibility of Manchester City winning the Premier League, the English national championship, Beckham made a point of taking a dig at the "Citizens". "I shouldn't answer! They're bringing in good players, they have powerful people with a lot of money behind them, so they'll try to improve. But they'll never be Manchester United. They might be a threat this season, but United has history, hegemony, for 20 years. There's only one team in Manchester, but City, I'm sure, is a team that's looking to the future."
Beckham also commented on Carlos Tevez's desire to leave the Manchester team. "Tevez was a strong player for them last season, so losing him will be bad. But they have things behind them, like an organization, so they can afford to bring in top players. If they continue doing that, they will become stronger," he added.
